Sawyer argues that the foundational concepts of Malcolm X's political philosophy - economic and social justice, strident opposition to white supremacy and Black internationalism - often are obscured by an emphasis on biography. "This book is an attempt to do that and also, frankly, a love letter to Malcolm X in honor of all he has done for me." ![]() "The motivation for writing this came from a realization that even with the regard I had for Malcolm X as an activist, I was not taking him seriously as a thinker," says Sawyer, who also is director of CC's Africana Intellectual Project. Sawyer's book goes beyond biography and examines Malcolm X's philosophical system. Known as "the angriest black man in America," Malcolm X was one of the most famous activists to ever live.

The novel has elements of traditional fairy tales, such as a wicked stepmother, stepsisters, a magnificent “castle,” loss, and poverty, Patchett explained that she wanted to write a novel about the kind of stepmother she did not want to be (she became a stepmother when she married her husband). Indeed, reviews as a whole were laudatory, or at least positive.

Julia's unforgettable story unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as as a cook and teacher and writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty years. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever. Indeed, when she first arrived in 1948 with her husband, Paul, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. Julia Child single handedly awakened America to the pleasures of good cooking with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, but as she reveals in this bestselling memoir, she didn't know the first thing about cooking when she landed in France. ![]() ![]() But when Tattoo Boy-Niko, the flyer said his name was Niko-sits across from her, it’s in a startlingly high-end Eames chair.
